Who Put the B in the Ballyhoo?

32 pp. | Houghton | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-71718-7 $16.00
(4) K-3 This unique alphabet book introduces the letters via witty rhymes about a cast of old-time big top characters, both famous (Annie Oakley, Houdini) and unsung (the bearded Lady Esau). The art, beautifully modeled on vintage circus posters, looks like the real deal, though some of the layouts are overly busy. Bib.
